Branding has become quite the buzz word, and even if you’re not exactly sure what a brand is, it’s clear that brands aren’t just for big businesses and designer labels! Your […]

My friend, we have all been in a tough spot with our closets. Sometimes we’re wishing that we had that one specific item to complete an outfit. But then sometimes we want to start over completely! And while every woman probably needs both at some point in her life, chances are that you simply need […]

Believe me – I know there’s nothing worse than feeling like you can’t rise up to the occasion because of your style. Or feeling like you don’t want to leave the house because your closet isn’t updated. But you know I’m all about giving you the facts and that good boost of confidence, my friend. […]

My friend, if you’re here – my guess is that you already know what Polished is about! In here, we are all about investing in ourselves. We care about our appearances. We know that first impressions matter more than anything. And we know that what we wear should reflect what we bring to the table. […]

Trends can often make you feel like you’re falling behind and unable to stay current, but you don’t even need to necessarily follow the trends to look good all year round! That’s just what the fashion industry wants you to think! (How else do you think they earn their paychecks?) But it’s never a bad […]

Picture this: you’ve just finished your morning routine. You’ve showered and have your coffee in hand, and you’re ready to slay the day! But when you stand in front of your closet to get dressed… you freeze. When you start thinking about what to wear, you clam up. You immediately go into fight or flight! […]

My friend, can you believe we’re more than halfway through the year!? It feels like this summer has flown by so far (although some days it doesn’t feel that way – because it’s TOO DAMN HOT!). I am enjoying all that the season has to offer, and I’ll all about looking good when I’m doing […]

Are you the kind of woman who loves most of what’s in her closet, but there’s clutter in there too? Or do you hate the idea of having to choose an outfit every day? Or perhaps you’re stressed about dressing your body if it’s recently gone through a change! My friend, no matter where you […]

Have you ever been walking down the street, and someone’s style has made you stop and stare? Have you ever gone up to someone and asked them where they got part of their outfit? My friend – you know a stylish woman when you see one! They’re the ones who we are breaking our necks […]

You know I’m all about snagging the best deals, AND you know I love Nordstrom. So keep scrolling to see your Polished picks for the Nordstrom […]

My friend, I’m going to get right down to it: I believe that you should never pass up on a chance to invest in yourself! When you’re a very busy woman and you haven’t got all day, it’s easy to only spend time on what everyone else needs… and not yourself. It’s easy to come […]

When it comes to dressing an ever-changing body that is constantly going up and down the scale, I’m your girl! Back in my younger years, I remember feeling the pressure of staying the same size all the time (especially because I worked in the fashion industry). But for me, I didn’t want that to stop […]
